Apostel Matteüs 1600 - 1669

"Apostel Matteüs" is an etching by the German artist Ludwig Büsinck (1590-1669), created between 1600 and 1669. The print depicts a close-up portrait of Matthew, one of the twelve Apostles of Jesus, as he is writing. The dramatic use of light and shadow enhances the realism of the figure and adds a sense of depth to the composition. This artwork is a fine example of Baroque art, with its focus on dramatic expression and detailed rendering.
